Can i learn a cartwheel in a day?

Question

I mean, I have the first part, but i always land like a squat. How can I fix this in a day, and how can I get a better toe touch? thanks.

Answer 1

Two things help with squatting like that:

1) Push off harder with your second hand to stand up.

2) Don't just point your toes, but curl them under to really force your legs to stay straight. (Uncurl them just as you land so you don't hurt them.)

Here are some cartwheel tips, pictures, and videos which might help you: http://aescougarcheer.com/Cheer101/tumbl...

For toe touches just do lots of them everyday, several times a day. Don't forget to warm up and stretch out first. If you aren't sweating, then you will stretch ligaments and tendons instead of muscle.

You can also try a few exercises as well: http://aescougarcheer.com/Cheer101/Skill... Ab work is important because your stomach helps you to lift your legs into position.

Good luck!

Answer 2

i learned to cartwheel by doing a hand stand and just flipping over, just concentrate on getting your legs straight, and it in the air. it can be done, but will take days for it to look really good

Answer 3

you want to make sure your legs are straight otherwise if they are bent you will land with your legs bent

for toe touch..do straddles
